In stakeholder analysis, how should a stakeholder with high influence but relatively low day-to-day interest normally be managed?

Correct answer: Keep the stakeholder satisfied without excessive detail. A stakeholder with high influence but low interest should be kept satisfied without overloading them with detail (power–interest grid).

• Communicate only through broad public messages. Broad public messages alone do not keep an influential stakeholder satisfied.
• Manage the stakeholder closely through daily consultation. Daily consultation suits stakeholders with both high influence and high interest.
• Exclude the stakeholder until active interest develops. Excluding an influential stakeholder risks losing their support.
